Appalachian Warfare at UVa-Wise offers November Civil War day trip

The
Appalachian Warfare Program at The University of Virginia’s College at Wise is
sponsoring a day trip to Camp Wildcat, the Battle of Barbourville and Cumberland
Ford on Nov. 17, 2012.

The visit to the Civil War’s “Hidden Jewels” is sponsored by the generous support of the
Slemp Foundation.

Because
of the terrain the group will face, would-be travelers should be ready for
moderate to strenuous walking. The full program has yet to be decided but the
cost will be less than $100 per person and lunch, transportation, and tour will
be provided.

Organizers
of the trip will announce convenient pick up locations along the route from
Wise to Cumberland Gap.
